Eritrea is going to make Russia turn against Ethiopia:  Awate.com


Awate.com, the Wahhabi-inspired website that wants to impose Sharia law and the Arabic language on Eritreans is at it again with their shenanigans. According to their recent Gedab News, which many Eritreans have come to jokingly refer to as "Geldam (idiot) News", Chinese diplomats are allegedly upset at President Isaias Afwerki (PIA) for attempting to 'ignite a superpower confrontation' in the region after the president stated Russia should play an active role in securing peace and security in the region. Awate wrote:

Gedab News learned that recently Chinese diplomats met the Eritrean president and protested against the Eritrean government’s attempts to ignite a superpower confrontation in its conflict with Ethiopia......That call for Russia’s involvement, and a call for the Cold War era confrontation didn’t please the Chinese who passed their disapproval to the Eritrean president. But the Eritrean president is still pursuing his strategy to involve the Russians in Eritrea’s regional conflicts.

In other words, Awate is implying PIA has the power to influence the Russian Federation to do his bidding in the Horn of Africa region, and that this is somehow upsetting the Chinese, who happen to enjoy excellent relations with the Russians.

Of course, the Chinese have no leverage with the Russians, so they must come to PIA to voice their concerns, right Awate?

As much as Eritreans like to see the so-called opposition turn PIA into something of a mythical legend or the Michael Jordan of the political world, he does not have magical powers to make countries do as he commands, let alone 'ignite a confrontation' with two superpowers who enjoy excellent relations with one another.

But then again, this is Awate.com. This is the same website that claimed PIA is dead only to find out days later he magically resurrected to state reports of his death were greatly exaggerated on ERI-TV. So it's possible they could genuinely believe PIA is some supernatural being that can not only come back from the dead, but also Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo his way to making nations do as he pleases.

On a serious note, Russia and Eritrea have improved their relations of late, and this is clearly upsetting Awate and their Ethiopian handlers. I'm sure even they know what they wrote is complete nonsense. They probably wrote it with the goal of trying to cause confusion and friction between both countries by hinting Russia's Horn of Africa policy goes through Asmara. Simply put, the article is a poor man's attempt at reverse psychology.
